Planning a Fund Raising Cruise Are you looking for a unique way to raise funds? Why not consider a fund-raising cruise! A fund-raising cruise incorporates all the events of a land based fund-raiser including silent auctions, raffles or even a golf tournament along with all the exciting elements of a cruise! It can provide a tax deduction and increase awareness for your organization or cause. Often, Cruise Planners can help to increase the funds raised by arranging for a matching donation from the cruise line.
A typical fund-raiser requires a lot of work, but with a fund-raising cruise much of the work is handled by your travel agent and the cruise line, allowing you to focus on the promotion of your event. After you have selected your cruise, Cruise Planners can:
Provide special group rates on your cruise.
Provide you with promotional marketing materials for your fund-raiser including brochures and flyers which will generate more interest and more proceeds for your organization
Design a custom website to promote your fund-raiser and provide an easy way for participants to sign up
Provide a single point of contact for your participants
Handle all payments and donations for you, providing you with a complete financial report of the funds raised.
Arrange for matching funds up to a specified amount
Organize onboard activities including meetings, award ceremonies and customized tours
Imagine enjoying a relaxing cruise vacation with family and friends, all while promoting your organization and raising funds for your cause. You can choose any cruise line, cruise length and destination that would interest your participants. The best part is you can offer your participants a wide variety of accommodations from inside cabins to the most luxurious staterooms and a portion of all proceeds will go to your organization!
Fund-raising cruises are one of the most creative ways to raise money for your organization. This type of fund-raiser can usually be arranged without any financial investment or outlay of money from the organization. And, the idea of a cruise can be contagious; one family member tells another and before you know it, participation has grown beyond all your expectations. If you are interested in a unique and fun way to raise funds for your organization, think about a cruise!
